[Q] Phone is bricked help...

Hi everyone. I tried to downgrade from kitkat on my lg g2 d800 and I followed the guide and downloaded the necessary files but now my phone wont boot and windows can't detect it. I can't get into fastboot...please help

I think you just need to do a hard reset. Unless something went wrong during the flash?

Downgrading requires a factory reset. Power off the phone, press volume down and power button until the LG logo appears then press power again. Should take you to factory reset mode.
Otherwise you can flash KK again using the kdz from download mode (plug to your computer whilst holding volume up I believe)

Pleast try to reboot the phone(if not, just take out the battery.)

Thank you everyone. Something did go wrong during the flash...it just stopped abruptly at 12 percent. I tried doing a hard reset by holding the volume down and then letting go when the logo appeared and then pressing the buttons again. It says resetting in progress but then shuts off.

I think something did go wrong because I can no longer access fastboot by pressing the power button and holding +. Holding the power button and the volume - key and then letting go and pressing them again when the lg logo comes up again, brings up the hard reset menu. But when I confirm the reset the phone shuts off...

Try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
Don't know if you have experience with Ubuntu. But its easy to install and the process is easier than it looks.
Check if your phone has some if these symptoms. And please note that you CAN'T use the files provided in the OP. You need the files for D800.

I tried this and the command "ls /dev/sd*" doesn't detect the phone.

Why were you trying to Downgrade?

Unplug your device, run the following command and plug the device back in (maybe you have to execute the command again):
dmesg -c
This should show you all USB system events. Your phone should show up as /dev/s<omething>.
However, the phone needs to be powered on. If it shut's itself off, Linux probably can't connect to it ...

[GUIDE] Qhsusb Dload Workaround [unbrick]

If your Moto G is connecting in qhsusb dload and you assume it is bricked then you can try this and see if this work for you as much worked for me.
1- Take apart the phone
2- Unplug the battery from the board
3- Connect to your usb charger
4- You will see a image like on attachment
5- Without disconnect the charger plug the battery to your board and let it charge for a few minutes
6- Flash your phone in order to update your bootloader
Good Luck

Any workaround for enter to bootloader (fastboot) with the volume button (-) broken?
I had a bootloop and I can't turn it off, keep rebooting when I keep the power off pressed... I like to enter to fastboot, and then launch a custom recovery

Yeah, but how access to twrp when my phone is turned off? If I press the power button, it goes to bootloop and then, I can't do anything because the broken button... I have to remove the battery to get out the bootloop (otherwise I have to wait battery discharge)

using adb on your pc

Before i even attempt to do it, how did you end up with QHS-USB mode in phone?
Was it because of bad OTA or something else?

does this work? can anyone confirm?

Congratulations for fix it! Ok, messenger, facebook and Instagram updates seem ok, but, L speed apps? what are those for? It sounds they are mods or something like that, right?
If yes, maybe those updates could cause the issue.
I wouldn't trust on them again, just in case. In that context, why don't you try Tomos's tweaks to get the most for your phone? They are specially made for our device and work like a charm in the mine one.
By the way: Xcam is my default camera now. Thanks for that.

[guide] hard brick [needs testing ]

I'd like to say thanks to the live chat for this info
This is pretty much a fail safe recovery
If this fails we have no luck till blank flash
1. Make sure the phone is plugged into a wall charger
2. Press and hold the VOL DOWN key
3. While still holding the VOL DOWN key, press and hold the POWER key
4. Hold both keys down for over 120 seconds. This is more than 2 minutes and will seem like a long time, it will help to time this to ensure the customer holds the keys long enough. Note, it must be more than 2 minutes!
5. After holding the keys down for more than two minutes, release the POWERkey first and then release the VOL DOWN key a few seconds later.
6. The Fastboot screen will display, and the Normal Reboot option will be highlighted
7. Press the VOL UP key and the device will reboot normally or go into fastboot

I'm here to help , not to be treated like a piece of dirt u can stamp on

If there is an issue with the actual bootloader such as it missing, then this method obviously won't work, you can't simply summon it if you don't have it.
If this is meant for booting one into recovery then it couldn't be done if for example the user had no recovery partition, and could not flash a recovery as their device is not recognised by another which had the ability to flash via fastboot.
Has there ever been an incident in which this method has worked?
